Today I'm pulling out one of the older drawings. I look back at some of them and wonder how I had the nerve to keep going. But then I look at others and say, yeah, that's why I kept going.

A New Week
Last week ended on a disappointing note for me but I've had a really wonderful weekend and I'm ready to start anew. I took two paintings in to the State Fair competition. I know there isn't a lot of payoff in that but I really need to get more comfortable with competing. My husband purchased a daily sketchbook for me at the art museum. I'm already enjoying it. I had forgotten the pure pleasure in the quick imperfect sketch. Not that perfection is ever something I have to worry about, it is definitely freeing to not worry about what someone else is going to think of it.

I tried and tried to get this lion to wake up so I could get an upright photo of him. He insisted on his cat nap and so that's how I painted him.
